Om:
Nicolai Risbjerg (f. 1994, DK) er skulptør og performancekunstner uddannet fra Kunstakademi i Bergen (2020) med en overbygning i Kunst i offentlige rum ved Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo (2027).
Nicolai Risbjerg arbejder med kærlighed, køn og identitet og med en legende tilgang og æstetik sætter han kendte symboler i nye sammenhænge.
Fra queer legetøjsskulpturer til absurde performances leger han med tanken om den store kærlighed, og stiller spørgsmål til forsimplede forestillinger om identitet, med et ønske om at fremme et mere inkluderende og omsorgsfuldt samfund.
Nicolai Risbjerg bor og arbejder i København og Oslo. I 2024 modtog han Anne Marie-Carl-Nielsens talentpris for unge skulptører.
